My name is Joey, and for many years, I was trapped in addiction and a life of crime. This path led me to be separated from my loved ones—mentally, physically, and emotionally—to the point where they wanted nothing to do with me. Even my children were taken from me because, at the time, I prioritized the streets, gang life, and crime over my responsibilities as a father. Over the course of my life, I spent a total of 23½ years behind bars—all before turning 45.

It wasn’t until my last prison sentence that I realized something had to change. I made the decision to become a better version of myself, one that I had never been before.

While incarcerated, I began attending church, and in 2016, I fully surrendered my life to Jesus Christ. However, when my release date came, I struggled to find a place to go until a…

My name is Trevor Kelley, and my daughter’s name is Joleen Kelley.

After 20 years of addiction—facing overdoses, alcohol poisoning, time in and out of jail, military prison, the psych ward, and two inpatient rehab stays - I finally surrendered and committed to change. I joined Faithful Servants, where I am now a board member. Today, I have my own apartment, a car, a job, and I attend intensive mental health therapy every week.

I have passed all my UAs for CPS, treatment, DOC, Hope Court, and offender services. My CPS case will be closed in June, I graduate outpatient next month, and I’ll complete Hope Court soon after. I’m now off DOC supervision in two states, done with offender services, and have resolved six warrants across four counties. I’ve also paid off fines and fees in three states and completed four parenting classes.

My youngest daughter is home, and…

I spent 15 years homeless, living on the streets, caught up in drugs and other felony activities. After being arrested and facing a long prison sentence, I finally decided enough was enough. Instead of going to prison, I was given the opportunity to enter drug court.

After completing 64 days of inpatient treatment, I moved into the Faithful Servant’s House. Not long after, my youngest son reached out to me through social media. We talked for a while, and it was the best conversation I had ever had.

Since then, I’ve been blessed to become a grandfather. I now have the chance to talk with my family and, on occasion, even see them. The journey hasn’t been easy, but the life I have today is one I never thought possible - and for that, I am truly grateful.

My name is Marlee Burns, and my husband, Devin Munsey, is currently residing at the Faithful Servant’s House in Kelso, Washington.

A while back, shortly after we were married in July, we relapsed. By November, our lives were in shambles.  Devin had stopped coming home, wasn’t working, and had picked up new charges. He was on his way to rehab, and at that point, our family felt non-existent. It was a complete train wreck.

After completing 30 days of inpatient treatment, Devin moved into the Faithful Servant’s House. Looking back, I truly believe that this place is the reason our family is still together today. We had both reached our breaking point - too much fighting, too much trauma, and we were about to call it quits.

Then, one day, everything changed. Not long after moving into the house, Devin started going to church with the other men there and…

I was court-ordered to complete treatment, undergo a mental health assessment, submit to random UA tests, attend supervised visits, and take age-appropriate parenting classes. I’ve successfully met every requirement. Now, I have in-person visits with my daughter every week, and in April, I return to court—hoping to finally bring her home full-time.

Reunification is a process that works when a father takes full accountability for the issues that led to the case in the first place. I’ve owned my mistakes and followed through on everything asked of me, even when it was difficult or when I didn’t agree. Because at the end of the day, that’s what it takes to bring Daviylee home. Now, all the hard work is about to pay off.
